honestly, i have a lot of experience in fabrication and i know what it takes to produce all sorts of different product. If i had the time, and a good enough welder to weld the aluminum, it wouldn't be hard at all. Scrap is up around here, so the materials could be a little more....maybe taking the total project to $65

I was hoping for something a little more engineered and smoothed over for $700. Also, im not going to knock it not making power, im sure anything you make that accepts a 70mm TB and big runners will make more power than the stocker....

umm.... $65 for a replica of RMR manifold is a great deal.
If you can make one for that price, I'll give ya $75 + shipping.

Errrrr........before you lay down your hard earned money, Gary, you just might want to see the fabrication in it's final iteration! After all, you wouldn't want your "cow" to blow up on your would you?

How bout getting a prototype made? So at least you could get an accurate estimate on parts & labor and have some nifty pics to show us.. Nothing sells the product like a nice prototype..
